When it perfectly normal to panfry your bacon in butter and the resulting grease is considered to be manna.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"

As some background: Been Primal for a little over two months. Had some friends visit for a long weekend and ate pizza, burgers with the bun, and all sorts of horrible things, and I realized.....

...you know you're Primal when, after "cheating" on SAD "treats" for a few days, not only do you feel like crap and decide it totally wasn't worth it, but you come to the horrifying realization that not too long ago you considered the slow, bloated, tired way you currently feel to be normal. o_O

Edited to Add: And something a bit more in the funny spirit of the original thread..this happened a bit after I made the original post.

You know you're Primal when, upon hearing your friend tell you that she cuts the fat off of her pork chops, you exclaim "but that's the best part!" with such passion that she literally scoots her chair back in fear.

When your 24 year old comes home for the weekend and opens the dry food pantry to declare: "There's nothing in here to eat," while looking at jars of tomato sauce, coconut milk, water and oil, five kinds of nuts, almond milk, and some pickles.

When you worry about eating ENOUGH fat.
When, as a woman, you want to be more muscly, not skinny and weak like cover-girls.
When people ask you what diet you're on and you say "Diet? What diet?"
When candy-aisles start looking gross, and you begin to drink plain-cocoa hot chocolate and prefer it to the sweet stuff.
When liver is met with pure excitement.
When people start commenting on how many eggs you eat!
When your partner starts considering chicken livers.
When you look for a forest for an "exciting day out" climbing trees.
When you're genuinely grossed out by what other people eat and think is "healthy".

All of the above happen to me.

From my fiance:
"You know you are paleo if everyone thinks you are a berk for following such an unhealthy eating habit, then ask you AGAIN what you are doing when the results start to show.
As if you must have changed it when they were not looking."

Nice! People ask me for diet advice, I give it to them and they say "No! that will raise my cholesterol and clog my arteries!"

-When you contemplate asking the other people at the table for the fat they are cutting off their ribeye steaks.

I ask for it and get it. As long as I know them, all is good!
I eat my fiances gammon and bacon fat, too. Waste not want not!
